Who's Who in the Finger Lakes Region HOROUGH effort has been made in compiling the appended "Who's Who in the Finger Lakes" to cover the T region and questionnaires were sent to a great many men and women who have achieved success and prom- inence in various professions and pursuits. However, a number of these questionnaires were not filled out and re- turned, and this fact accounts for certain omissions, some perhaps at once noticeable, in the biographical list. It is also possible that, despite the work of volunteer committees of local citizens who have provided lists of ehgibles for these columns, the names of persons who should be included have inadvertently been omitted, simply because the committees did not list them to receive questionnaires. While the publisher does not present the following list as all-inclusive for this region, it is offered with the conviction that the information it contains is correct in every detail. In the summarized biographies that appear, dates and data are set down according to carefully prepared copy submitted; therefore accuracy and authenticity are assured.—Victor J.

  • Bibliography of Genesis Articles at Gordon*
    714 Bibliotheca Sacra 137 (1980) 223-40. Copyright © 1980 by Dallas Theological Seminary. Cited with permission. Studies in the Book of Genesis Part 1: The Curse of Canaan Allen P. Ross The bizarre little story in Genesis 9:18-27 about Noah's drunkenness and exposure along with the resultant cursing of Canaan has perplexed students of Genesis for some time. Why does Noah, the spiritual giant of the Flood, appear in such a bad light? What exactly did Ham do to Noah? Who is Canaan and why should he be cursed for something he did not do? Although problems like these preoccupy much of the study of this passage, their solutions are tied to the more basic question of the purpose of the account in the theological argument of Genesis. Genesis, the book of beginnings, is primarily concerned with tracing the development of God's program of blessing. The bless- ing is pronounced on God's creation, but sin (with its subsequent curse) brought deterioration and decay. After the Flood there is a new beginning with a renewal of the decrees of blessing, but once again corruption and rebellion leave the human race alienated and scattered across the face of the earth. Against this backdrop God began His program of blessing again, promising blessing to those obedient in faith and cursing to those who rebel. The rest of the book explains how this blessing developed: God's chosen people would become a great nation and inherit the land of Ca- aan. So throughout Genesis the motifs of blessing and cursing occur again and again in connection with those who are chosen and those who are not.

  • ALAVES - the Blessley History
    Section 7 ALAVES - The Blessley History Editor’s Note - 1 When Ken Blessley agreed to complete the ALAVES story it was decided by the new Local Authority Valuers Association that it would be printed, together with the first instalment, and circulated to members. Both parts have been printed unamended, the only liberty I have taken with the text has been to combine the appendices. As reprinting necessitated retyping any subsequent errors and omissions are my responsibility. Barry Searle, 1987 Editor’s Note - 2 As part of the preparation of “A Century Surveyed”, Ken Blessley’s tour de force has been revisited. The document has been converted into computer text and is reproduced herewith, albeit in a much smaller and condensed typeface in order to reduce the number of pages. Colin Bradford, 2009 may well be inaccuracies. These can, of course, be corrected if they are of any significance. The final version will, it is hoped, be carefully conserved in the records of the Association so that possibly some ALAVES - 1949-1986 future member may be prepared to carry out a similar exercise in perhaps ten years’ time. The circulation of the story is limited, largely because of expense, but also because of the lesser interest of the majority of the current membership in what happened all those years Kenneth Blessley ago. I have therefore, confined the distribution list to the present officers and committee members, past presidents, and others who have held office for a significant period.

Those stationed in garrison towns were based frequently in castles, forts or similar fortifications dating back several years. These includes London (the Tower of London), Hounslow, Woolwich, Dover, Windsor, Chatham, Dover, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Chester, York, Edinburgh and Dublin. Outside of these main garrison towns, most troops were quartered in billets in towns and villages, often living with civilians in their houses. This meant that troops were distributed widely across the U.K., with no sizeable formation in any one location.

  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.
